So does this not work for those of use with very high tracks? I often come within 1/2" of the thumb and sometimes clip the edge.

good question. I can't say for sure but I used to be a really high tracker and I drilled myself up a clt ball and put the inserts inline with the clt. This essentially moved the thumb left in relation to my finger line and I would sometimes track over the thumb or above the thumb and through the grip. The tri-grip ball I had drilled lined my inserts up with my clt and did pull my track up really close to the thumb even with my new lower track release.

My findings with the tri-Grip layout.

After drilling it i draw a line from Thumbcenter to bridge center and measured the fit like i do always with the T-Grip with CLT. my t-grip # are thumb 30° 1/8 rev 1/8 right. The Trigrip Thumbhole was 30° 1/8 rev, 1/8 right the only difference between tri grip and my Wiki fit are the lateral fingerpitches. witch are in relation to the t-Centerline 0 and 1/4 instead of 5/16 left and 9/16 right wikifit.
My track has moved more away from Thumbhole and closer to the fingerholes wich is a product of a moved PAP. I did not measured it now. But will do it soon.
For me the difference in numbers is not so far. But the bowling feeling is other. Like stan has said. I feel the ball better when it leaves my hand. That gives me a bit more control.

With my WIKI Fit i can bowl more than 50 games without any Problems. Lets see whats about the tri-Grip!!
